Why did you choose to be a Conjurer?

[Neptune]

This thread is regarding the concept of changing the class name and actions for Conjurer. It's already been well discussed so instead of talking about it here, let's talk about what brought us to Conjurer in the first place.

I chose Conjurer because I wanted to use elemental magic offensively. I imagined the great graphics of FFXIV, and imagined the cool spells I could use during battle. Once I started playing, I was really drawn to the lore of the Conjurer's guild in Gridania.

Of course right now I'm disappointed about the look of the offensive magic but I hope that will change. Check out my thread in battle mechanics to see my suggestion. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ffects-dev1037

So why did you choose to be a Conjurer?

I chose Con because it seemed like the closest job to a BLM (My first 75 in FFXI). Now, I'm reduced to nothing but a cure mage....

When I glanced the spell and ability progression list I saw more conservative FFXI spells on CON than I did THM (Cure/Raise/Fire/Flare/etc). It seemed to me to be a WHM + BLM Hybrid which were among my first jobs 75 in FFXI, yet not exactly a RDM, namely, no Gravity or Bind. Honestly, I don't know how to treat the job entirely, it feels as if the role of CON could just as entirely be played as THM with no difference outside of the elemental spells.

I was a Paladin in FFXI and wanted to play a mage this time around.

The whole "spill your own blood" aspect of Thm sounded a little to angsty Dark Knight for my tastes...

I gave up being a Pld in FFXI, one voke, and even with all my abilities, couldn't hold enough hate when the everyone could be /sam after level cap. So I decided in this game to go back to my roots of MMOs and be a wizard. Closest to that is Conjurer.

I chose CON based on the promo info on the FFXIV website before release. I also thought it might be the next step forward from a BLM style class. That's a negative.

I chose Con because it's so versatile. I can heal if my party needs healing. I can nuke if my party needs nuking. And I can solo pretty easily because I have access to heals and nukes.

I also chose Con because I hate being pigeon-holed into a role, and it would disappoint me greatly if they got rid of Con's nuking and made it a healing only class (which is what the thinly veiled motivation of some of the posts in this thread is... sorry, don't want BLMs and WHMs that can only do one or the other)

Im pretty much with Kaedan. I dislike being pigeon holed into existing for just one purpose (a la WHM, BLM) but I played SCH in FFXI and I really enjoyed it. Not only could I nuke and debuff when I wanted to, but I could heal and buff up too, it was really intense and kept me involved in the fights all the time. I find and feel that CON plays similar to SCH, and therefore I am never bored in a fight.

I actually have a few fond memories of levelling CON up to 50, quite a few times where the party has wiped and and I would be the only one standing and still destroy the monsters solo, or when someone pulled a few too many raptors and I was the only mage, I kept the team alive with my CC, debuffs nukes and heals, etc lol its fun to be a CON that doesnt just stick to healing or nuking. ^^

I wanted to focus on healing and support. Love supporting my party members

ALSO they were the hardest class to rank up besides THM before the sp changes in November. It was sort of rewarding to rank up a class that ranked slowly compared to the DoW. I know it ranked slow for me

[Laughlyn]

To me... it was the closest thing to a Black Mage.

Now im stuck leveling Thaumaturge too since we dont know how these 2 classes will be handled in the future.
